Zixty Miles
Zixty Miles is an innovative feature of the Zixty insurance app that provides you with multiple benefits. We are the only short-term insurer to offset your mileage to minimise the impact of your driving on the environment.
The Zixty Miles benefits are:
A tree planted on sign up to Zixty miles
We offset the carbon generated from your trips by planting trees
We'll provide you with helpful eco-driving tips to get more from your tank and generate less CO2
We automatically notify you if we think an accident has occurred to help assist with a claim
Coming soon - future policy discounts/benefits
In order to switch Zixty Miles on, you need to enable it in app settings OR when buying a policy. The app will then ask for access to your location including activity tracking. You'll need to say yes to all these permissions including allowing access all the time - this is so the app can automatically capture your driving to calculate the carbon offset and eco-feedback.
Once Zixy Miles is switched on, the app will wake up during your Zixty policy and check to see if you are driving. During each trip we record your GPS location data each second, and your accelerometer, gyro and magnetometer data 100 times a second. At the end of each trip, this data is uploaded to Zixty servers and converted into your carbon offset numbers and eco driver feedback.
If you buy a policy with Zixty miles enabled then it will need to remain switched on for the duration of that policy. Don't worry though, you can switch it off any time you like otherwise. Why would you though?
